Coordinate input
All drawings are based on the Cartesian coordinate system with three mutually perpendicular axes (X, Y, Z).
Every drawing has a fixed, unchangeable coordinate system known as the World Coordinate System (WCS).
You can specify point coordinates absolutely or relative to a previous point.
For a relative input, precede the coordinates with an "@".
